	A dream became you Ripped out at the seam Became fearless Out on a dream Whirling motion From sky to sky Burning up in atmosphere Falling to extreme On your shoulder Weight of the world All but a dream Inspiration Give us some myrrh All we need You lift the sky And you touched the moon With the radical Dancing boots A glow from your soul Radiating love A perfect light for us to see On your shoulder Weight of the world Inspiration Give us some myrrh

La Cerca’s new single “Gimme Some Myrrh” is a bittersweet dreamy rocker, as well as an ode to frontman Andrew Gardner’s dear friend, the late Sam Jayne (Love as Laughter).

“Sam would come to Tucson, Arizona on tour. We would go to dance parties, skateboard all night, as well as stay up until dawn talking about music and the most unusual things,” reminisces Gardner, who played “Gimme Some Myrrh” in its infancy to Jayne many years before. “At the time, the song was about people going for the life of living art, much like Sam, who would put every last penny into having a run of shows with his band,” Gardner shares. Ultimately, Jayne was the inspiration; he loved the song and told Gardner that it needed to be released.

It wasn’t until after Sam Jayne’s passing in 2020 that La Cerca would follow his advice and recorded “Gimme Some Myrrh”. Gardner adds, “I remember Sam playing an acoustic set and putting his audience in a frenzy, and the crowd would be screaming for more. I realize now that I actually wrote this song about Sam, and how he was such an inspiration to me; like a superhero.”
